Chapter 2241
As Jaime and Sheldon were talking, Sheldon’s phone suddenly rang.He glanced at the screen, and the caller ID indicated that it was his brother, Steven.Thinking of his sinister act of adding insult to injury at the most critical moment, Sheldon’s face twisted into a disdainful grimace, and he became extremely upset.He clicked on the loudspeaker and asked coldly, “What?”Steven chuckled and said, “Hey, Sheldon, the car as well as the plane are ready. It’s time to send you to the airport.”Grinding his teeth in dismay, Sheldon replied in a cold voice, “Okay. I’ll have a few more words with Jaime and come down soon.”Steven quickly said, “Sheldon, you’d better not delay this any longer. Father is waiting for my update. He wants you to leave as soon as possible.”Sheldon held back his anger and said, “Okay, I’ll be there in five minutes!”“Alright!” Steven laughed. “I’ll be waiting for you at the door, and I’ll personally send you to the airport later!”Sheldon ended the call wi

Half an hour later, a Boeing 747 that had been revamped into a private jet took off from Eastcliff Airport.This aircraft was of the same model as the US Presidential Air Force One, with a typical three-level cockpit layout. The aircraft could fit up to four hundred and sixty-seven passengers when it was fully loaded with passengers.However, aside from the crew, there was only one passenger in the entire plane at this moment. That passenger was none other than Sheldon.The flight distance from Eastcliff to Queensland, Australia, was about nine thousand kilometers.It would be impossible for any ordinary small and medium private jets to fly directly on such a long route.Only a large passenger aircraft such as the Boeing 747 with a range of more than ten thousand kilometers would be able to complete this kind of direct flight.At this time, Sheldon, who was on the plane, was feeling very depressed.He was looking outside the window, and as Eastcliff’s brightly lit night view got

...At the same time, in Cadfan’s study room.Steven was holding a tablet in his hand as he presented the media reports and netizens’ comments about Cadfan one by one. He smiled as he said, “Dad, this way, everyone will no longer push the blame to you or hold you responsible for Rosalie’s affairs anymore.”Lord Schulz nodded in satisfaction. At the same time, he felt completely relieved.The older a person got, the more they would care about their own reputation and image. This was especially so for people like Lord Schulz.He had already been a wise and brilliant mind for a lifetime, and he was even the life goal and role model in the minds of countless people.As he was already at his retirement age, if he were to fall and fail miserably because of Rosalie’s incident this time, his reputation as a brilliant and wise man in this lifetime would no longer be guaranteed.Therefore, deep down in his heart, he had been feeling extremely eager to push the blame and responsibility ont
Chapter 2245
The news about Sheldon suddenly dominated all of the major and small media headlines.Sophie and Jaime were both very angry about this matter. Jaime even thought about going directly to his grandfather several times to question him about the cause behind this matter. However, Sophie stopped him directly.This was because Sophie knew very well that their grandfather was deliberately sacrificing their father to protect himself. If they were to look for him and confront him directly now, he would only be even angrier and more frustrated with them.Instead of that, it would be better for them not to say anything at all and simply head to Aurous Hill with their mother early in the morning tomorrow, as planned.As for how she should help her father to turn things around, Sophie already had her own plans in mind.However, she would have to wait patiently for the perfect opportunity first.At the same time, the Harker family had already evacuated all of their masters from the Schulz fami

The person who had spoken was an old butler working for the Dunn family in Aurous Hill.Helen had met him before when she was still young. Over the past two decades, the old butler had been taking care of the Dunn family’s old mansion in Aurous Hill. After that, Helen had married into the Schulz family. So, the both of them had never met again.Nevertheless, Helen recognized him at a glance, and she greeted him respectfully, “Uncle Walters! I hope that you have been well since we last met!”After she was done speaking, she hurriedly instructed her pair of children who were next to her, “Jaime, Sophie, hurry up and greet Grandpa Walters.”Jaime and Sophie hurriedly greeted him respectfully, “Hello, Grandpa Walters!”The old butler hurriedly bowed to thank her, and he felt very flattered as he said, “Miss Helen, I really did not expect you to remember me.”Helen smiled as she said, “Why wouldn’t I remember you? You used to be in charge of the mansion that was next to the prince’s m

Charlie’s father-in-law, Jacob, had also begun to reinvest and put all of his focus and attention into the affairs at the Calligraphy and Painting Association.Elaine, who was still on crutches, had made breakfast in the morning. After Jacob and Claire were done with breakfast, they drove their own BMWs to get on with their businesses. Charlie cleaned the house a little before he prepared to head out to buy some meat and eggs.Although the small vegetable garden at home could provide them with all the vegetables and fruits that most families needed, they would still have to buy their meat and eggs from the supermarket.Charlie rode his electric bike out, but he was not in a hurry to set off.

This was Charlie’s purpose in keeping Rosalie alive.He planned to send Rosalie back to Eastcliff when the time was right.Immediately afterward, he put his cell phone away. After that, he stepped on the accelerator of the electric bike, and the small machine made a buzzing sound as the electric bike started moving out.After leaving the Thompson First community, Charlie was turning his electric bike around as he prepared to go to Isaac’s hotel. At this time, he heard a familiar voice shouting behind him with a hint of nervousness, “Brother-in-Law!”Charlie subconsciously turned his head around, and he saw a familiar woman beckoning him from the sidewalk behind him.“Wendy?” Charlie was really surprised upon observing the woman carefully.It was not the first or second day since his family and Lady Wilson’s family had turned hostile against one another. For such a long time, the two families had been mutually destructive, just like water and fire.They would not greet each other
